Building the Community Land Trust Ecosystem in California
The California Community Land Trust Network (CACLTN) is a state-wide learning and advocacy hub for Community Land Trusts and those fighting for them
Joint advocacy letter to California legislators from the the LA CLT Coalition, Ca CLT Network, Alliance for Community Transit (ACT-LA), and Neighborhood Partnership Housing Services (NPHS)
Who We Are
We are a Network of California CLTs supporting the growth of permanently affordable, community controlled land and housing in California
Our member organizations span California from Humboldt County to San Diego, collectively stewarding over 1,600 permanently affordable homes housing over 3,500 Californians.
Our members fight the displacement of BIPOC and low-income families by keeping over $250 million in community assets off of the speculative market and in community control.
With 40 established groups statewide and more emerging, Community Land Trusts are a growing force of de-commodified, permanently affordable housing.
Take Action.
We need your voice! The Foreclosure Intervention Housing Preservation Program would prevent the displacement of at-risk residents and save hundreds of 1-25 unit properties at risk of foreclosure or in the foreclosure process.
Unfortunately, it’s facing a 100% cut in the Governor’s proposed 2024–2025 budget.Â
Send an instant email to the State leadership now and voice your support for this program. All it takes is a few simple clicks.
